Thats the riding I do...... maybe add a few more mph tho!! LOL

Had a pretty close call on my bike today (on private property) doing about 120 -140 (ie max speed on klr 600), throttle just went dead and motor felt weird and then conked out so i let off throttle and down shifted to roll start it (must of gone down two gears or something) the rear wheel went into a compression lock for about two seconds and back came out a bit..... Damn close call...after that bike was running fine --0 it was really weird as i have never had anything like this happen b4? maybe it was just a bubble in the fuel lines or something?

Any of you bike riders had this happen to you before?

I think next time i will just hold the clutch and pull over (bit safer mez thinks!!)

happened on my zx7R, iced carbs.............. common problem with the late 90's ZXR's.

Winters weekend day, cool air, long ride, loss of engine power, down a few cogs to slow it down, lock rear wheel (where was the slipper clutch in the 90's LOL), big slide, no power, BAM on it comes with compression, black snakey all down the road (oh and black undies too). Pull to side of road and let the carbs warm up again.

Brendan this is perhaps the best street cycling vid i have ever seen: its a cut down segment of pascal on le Perlipherique ie its the highlights from a lap around paris in 12 minutes: this guy can REALLLLLYY ride!!!!!!!!!!! He defenitely has a death wish!!!!!!!

WOOHOOO Got the 6.1 Hemi 300C :D in today. there are only subtle changes from the standard 5.7 (like the extra 68kw) the main thing are the 20 inch wheel with monsterous brembo brakes. I would easily get one of these beasts over a FPV or HSV. Got to say this is one of the only good things about my job :P

Can't wait to get the jeep equivelant 0-100 in 5 seconds - take that Holden a 2 tonne 4wd is faster than the GTS

    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
    • LOL well, lucky mine doesn't have some R shit on it. Around town, it handles so much better than the R33, R33 in the wet is pretty dangerous to the untrained hoon, especially with 13kg/mm front springs.
